Race: Pocatello Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:24:23, Place overall: 7, Place in age division: 1
Total Distance
15.50

Pocatello half today.  My bro did the full (3:09ish which is an awesome time).  I'm very happy with my race today.  This is probably my best effort on a half since this is a very legit course in comparison to my 1:22 Hobble Creek or 1:23 at Provo River.  Lots of rollers through the middle miles with a couple of pretty good climbs and a lot of what seemed like long flat stretches.  I held things together very well throughout the race even when I didn't feel good and then was able to push it pretty good at the end.  Very good confidence builder for TOU in two weeks.  Splits:

1 6:02

2 6:17     12:19

3 6:34     18:53 A little climb right here

4 6:40     25:34

5 6:20     31:54

6 6:16     38:11

7 6:22     44:34

8 6:52     51:26 This was the big climb I believe. 

9 6:41     58:07 Got passed by a guy here who was flying. He finished about 1 min ahead.

10 6:29   1:04:36

11 6:21    1:10:58

12 6:24    1:17:23

13 6:09   1:23:33

0.1 0:49   1:24:23 

Cooled down for a couple miles after.  Got to meet Jeff Shadley from the blog and talked with him and Rob for a bit. They are fast. Overall, a very good race for me like I mentioned and hope that I will be able to build off of it for TOU.

Awesome race Jeff! To finish just a minute or two behind those great downhill courses goes to show you just how tough you are! Nice work!!

From Jody on Sat, Sep 03, 2011 at 18:59:46 from 75.141.131.35

Congratulations! That is a great time on an honest course. You are set up to do great things at TOU. Enjoy the next couple of weeks!

Great race, that is an awesome time...much more of a quality time than Hobble Creek.

It was nice meeting you, good luck at TOU!

Thanks, all.

Thanks, Jeff. It was good to meet and talk to you as well. Nice job on the race.

GREAT splits for BIG climbs! That is one heck of a finish time, very impressive. TOU is going to be your race.

From Tom on Sun, Sep 04, 2011 at 17:50:22 from 74.211.5.19

Awesome race Jeff! I definitely think this was your best overall effort yet. You're looking great for TOU!

Great job on the race. it was fun to see you run by although I was wishing I had fresh legs at that point.

From Jeff L on Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 20:43:56 from 74.81.227.108

Thanks, Kelli and Tom.

Josse-Thanks as well. Nice job on your race, even though it sounds like you had some troubles along the way. Both times I saw you, you looked to be running strong.

Andy-Thanks. Are you running TOU or STG this year?

Smooth-Thanks. I had my eyes open for you at the expo. See you at TOU hopefully.
